LaTeX editors

This is an comparison of LaTeX editors for Windows. Since thi is for my own amusement I'll probably just pick an editor and use it until I find something lacking. At wich point I'll try a new one. Hopefully this will help me choose one über-editor. All this equal I'll prefer free (liberty) software, or lacking that, free (gratis) software. But come to think of it, I don't think it matters that much to me.

Also, some of this has previously been mentioned in posts by me, ohloh and Antero Neves.

• TeXnicCenter -- Editor with Norwegian spell checker and primitive file search. But lacks support for UTF-8.
• LEd -- Editor with block collapse. But lacks support for UTF-8.
• WinShell -- Sweet! An editor that handles UTF-8 properly. As long as you remember to change a setting in the options dialogue, that is.

Ok, seems Winedt also has unicode support these days, who else:


So what things should an editor have?

1. UTF-8,
   
2. Norwegian spell checker,
   
3. multiple levels of spell checking
   
4. block collapse.
